About Claire
Claire Gillyon is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and life changes. Claire also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and self-esteem concerns.
Claire uses a mix of talking approaches to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions are focused on understanding what is happening now and what keeps problems going. She draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices.
She also brings psychodynamic thinking and Internal Family Systems ideas into her practice. That looks like talking about past patterns, noticing different parts of the self, and testing new ways of responding. These approaches are used to address issues such as attachment, abandonment, body image and communication problems.
People come to Claire for help with chronic pain, caregiving stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with blended family dynamics, commitment and control issues, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture when these affect wellbeing.
Claire offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the practice's appointment flow. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Claire often uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can explore what matters to them. This approach supports people who feel stuck, unsure about next steps, or disconnected from their own priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try small, practical experiments. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Mindfulness practice is used alongside these methods to help with stress and with noticing present-moment experience without judgement.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss options with each person and together decide what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different methods over several sessions and adapting the plan as things change.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so please check the session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, or avoid travel on days that are difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to help keep continuity of care and to make scheduling simpler.
